EDITORIAL BREVITIEs

TEXAS will soon have two FOurths Of
July, to use Hibernianism, but one OF
them will be the Fourth of August.
The Gazette is fairly off the fence. 1t
cannot even pass by the naturalization
Of Mrs. Lsngtry in distant California
without giving slap at the Hnti-prOhi-
bitionists in Texas.
MCGARIGLE is said to be in Chicago,
Milwaukee, Manitoba and Ontario. The
sheriff who offers 81, 800 for his recovery
can take his choice. 1t is clear case
of Paddy's flea.
The Weimar InfOrmer says: Uncle
Isam says he saw q snake that bad forty
eight prairie dogs in him" Uncle Isam
is unknown at this office, but lie sup
posed to be near relative Of U-lie Per-
kins.
The democratic journals that assure
the party IN Ono of good fight are
level-headed. They are very careful to
say nothing OF victory. No one ques.
tiOns the fight. On that matter the re-
publicans will not join issue.
BAKED meats are the order of the day.
Armour had a big roast last night to
which all the firemen in Chicago had a
free invite. The roast Carcases included
$500 beeves, 800 sheep and 100 hogs.
More than enough for Texas barbecue.
ALLEN G.. THURMAN has evidently
sickened of the Ohio democracy. He
puts his absolute refusal to ever run for
any Office on the score of old age, but

happy In the company of Jackals.

CRANFILlIANISM.

There has been considerable curiosity
felt and.expressed to understand the true
inwardness OF this prohibition campaign,
financially considered. 1t is well
known that the prohibitionists in Texas
have flooded the state with money.
Their expenses and outlays are enOr-
nous, and yet there seems to be no
lack to the stream ofgolden plenty that
pours from their Golfers. The mystery
lie solved. They have laid tribute on
other prohibition states for the sinnews
OF war. Rev. C-anflll is even now In
Michigan, or was recently, and met
with great success IN his collecting tour.
At Lake Bluff on the Sth Inst. his cOlleo-
ton was over $500 10 one contribution.

HAIR-HUNo AND BREEzE.sHAksN.

Brother Guthrie of the Bsnders Bugle
has had an experience. He has been
ratified over the stones, like an anti-pau-
per whom nobody owns, until he is sore
10 his bones. Brother Guthrie did not
understand until now how a fellow felt
when the Philistines were upon him ; he
knows now. He has left the sheep fold
and wandered away from his own
shepherd, and the tang ed-haired ram of
Q rival flock has keel-hauled him until
the very marrow OF his homes has run
out like water. The Bugle man usually
can toot his own horn, but this time he
has been lifted up on a preachers horn,
and impsled on q prohibition horn, and
his Bugle has been fiattened by a fellow
who does not believe in horns, and the
memory thereof Is neither pleasant nor
refreshing. The fact is, that Brother
Guthrie lie a decent .prOhibitiOnist,
aud he has views on this subject and he
expresses them. There was q barbecue
on the grounds in his vioinage and the
pr0hibitionists were out In force. A
pair OF parsons were doing duty on the
prohibition watohtowers, and the wind
ing OF the Bugle on the anti-prOhibitiOn
walls was not welcome music in the
taught their master a new method of
treating the wine question had they
been In Cana a. the marriage feast. One
OF these ministers was named Sanders, a
shepherd Of the Baptist flock, and he
proved himself very crooked shepherd
according TO the report which
the Bugle man has sent to the
San Antonio LIGHT, that the people
may know the things that are done in
darkness. The Bugle editor complains
Of the foul language used by this Rev.
expounder OF the gospel OF shan't by
the apostles of "cant" and asks this
journal to post the offensive language.
This the LIGHT does not deem necessary.
The language is common to too many
prohibition speakers and should not be
regarded as singular. Brother Guthrie
10 too particular by half. When a min
lister calls him "lisr" and thief and
wants to "choke him with his own
filth" and sll that, Bro. Guthrie should
consider where it came from, just as
the man did when the jsckass kicked
him. There is no law against man
making q fool OF himself; none against a
man making fish woman Of himself
and bsnkrupting Billingsgste. The
things which defile man are the
things which come out of his mouth,
not those which enter into his ears. The
Bugle man cannot be deflled by what
come out OF Rev. Sanders mouth and he
should not take this matter to heart. 1t
10 certainly to be deplored that all min
listers OF the gospel are not gentlemen,
but they are not and that ends 1t. The
experience of we'll clothed man in an
encounter with skunk is not something
to be agitsted. The better thing to do
10 to bury the offensiveness. The Bugle
will 90 right along doing good work in
Banders county just as though this
thing had not happened, and the Rev.
Sanders will have the satisfaction OF
having shown the .unsanctified nature
of his prohibition soul.

DIR. Tanning,

VIII &S MYiQ2 i2 Measure S;ui; the amount of
cure given to the afflicted world
by "the Giver of every good and
perfect giftw Who will number
the agencies where-withal suffer
ing may be relieved. Not the
mullitudinOus stars, mustered
nightly on the heavenly plains can
offer one member of the glittering
host for each GOd-given remedy
for human ills, and not the
unnumbered sands on the shores
of all the seas can furnish a grain
for each several i'll. Spite of the
army of skillful physicians; men of
heart; conscientious men; at work
over the vast areas of the teeming
world of people, unhealed suff-
erers are still waiting beside the
pools, watching for the angels
wing and made sicker by hope
deferred. 1t is not the case,
therefore, that DR.. Tanning inter
feres with the practice of the
learned doctors, or properly comes
within their pale condemnation.
The harvest is vast and alas. the
reapers in this field are too few!
Battling against the multifOrm
devices of the destroyer, the
gallant army of physicians fight
with unceasing fOrtitude, skill and
touching devotion. They sympa-
thize with the means of the
afflicted and the tears of the friends
of those sufferers, but in spite of
all the means taught by prolific
science, it is written still in every

THE BUCKEYE PLATFORM.

The republican platform rs adopted
by the Ohio state convention at Toledo,
Yesterday, may be thus briefly epitom-
lied: The platform is truly Ameri-
can. 1t protects American industries by
protective tariff; by demand for the
restriction of emigration so rs to ex-
clude anarchists, communists, pOlygam-
lists, fugitives from justice, insane and
dependent psupers, vicious and criminal
classes and contract labor in every form;
asks national control of the elections to
congress; demands large pensions for
soldiers and sailors; extends hearty SYM
patty to Gladstone and Parnell; would
set apart public lands for actual settlers
only; denOunCes the pension yetOes;
asks protection for innocent users Of
patent inventions; endorses the state adj
ministration and FOraker's service; IA
vOrs the restriction not the abOlishing OF
the liquor traffic; arraigns the demOc-
racy for fraud In the 1885 elections; calls
for no discrimination against labor on
the part of corporations, and for a trans-
portatiOn as low as is consistent with
justice, and heartily endorsed Sherman
for the presidential nomination in 1888.
The ticket presented is-FOraker, gov
ernor; w. C. Lyon, lieutenant-governOr;
w. T. Spear, supreme judge, long term;
F. j. Dickman, supreme judge, short
term; f. W. Poe, state auditor; }. c.
Brown, state treasurer; d. X. Watkins,

Something New.

A great deal is heard nowadays about Lac
tart, the acid of milk. This has been proved by
the practical experience of thousands of people
to be one of the most valuable of food acids.
As it is the pure acid of milk, it is not strange
that its use as beverage and tonic particular
ly good in cases of dyspepsia) should have be-
come widely prevalent in those sections where
it has been introduced. The company that
manufacture it now come forward with their
Lactart and Honey for the cure of coughs and
colds. This remedy, it is said, has already won
great success, and favorable mention Of 1t is
made in every quarter, wherever it has been
tried. Lactart and Honey has very agreeable
taste to the palate, SO that it is exceedingly
pleasant to take, and is particularly nice for
children. The combination of sweet and sour,
such as Lactart and Honey makes, is right in
line with the past experience of the race, in
which such combinations have always been
found efficient In the cure Of coughs, h0arse-
ness, and sore throat. Honey is known to be
soothing and healing, and the Lactart. acting
with it, dissolyes the thickened mucus and
makes a wei! throat out of disordered one.
As truly scientific cough remedy, Lactart and
Honey should have trial.
